I totally agree with you about lovely packaging! I sometimes buy boxes and tins because I love them so, the contents, not so much :-) The flowers are lovely, by the way.Carol & Eddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300783392032057779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-19382083764772683892012-03-15T21:46:42.285+08:002012-03-15T21:46:42.285+08:00Loving these embroidered pouches!

I love flowers and I love ...Hiya not-aunty Jane, ;)<br />I love flowers and I love your bags, especially the cute flower ones. This batch my fav would be the pink knot flowers. <br /><br />Those bags sure provide some inspiration and are too pretty to toss. i often reuse cute packaging or repurpose it. <br /><br />There are some florals that are definitely old fashioned or unfashionable. But I keep seeing all the retro floral prints being redone and worn by the young and hip. <br />Like one of your other commentors said, here if something is unfashionable it is called 'granny'. My kids will sometimes look at my shoes (comfortable and practical) and call them granny. I don't mind too much 'cause I am confident enough to not feel like i have to wear some thing just to be fashionable. If it is fashionable, looks and good and is comfortable then I am all for it. Otherwise I'll go granny. LOL.<br />Aunt and the corresponding uncle are often used by children to adults who aren't family but are close friends to signify respect and closeness. In the aboriginal culture children and youth call most adults aunt or uncle. I like the respect it shows. <br /><br />My 20 year old daughter commented lately that she finds it hard to call some adults just by their first name now even though it is acceptable for her to do so. She said she has called them uncle all her life and it feels weird to drop the uncle. <br /><br />make the most of it while you are on tornado alert. :)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894258034175095725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-37031581828541586982012-03-13T11:44:46.472+08:002012-03-13T11:44:46.472+08:00Here's a good flowery link for you - http://me...Here's a good flowery link for you - http://meetmeatmikes.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/one-about-floral-things.htmltamdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727285004604363601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-82052022108920524582012-03-13T11:14:59.736+08:002012-03-13T11:14:59.736+08:00clap clap clap! the simplicity in your embroidery ...clap clap clap! the simplicity in your embroidery makes it really elegant! i love the one with the french knots!! keep up the great work jane!!punkychewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011046035760189001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-67652514332274696852012-03-13T06:55:15.006+08:002012-03-13T06:55:15.006+08:00I hope you're recovering from your migraine!! ...I hope you're recovering from your migraine!! Your bags look fantastic - the embroidery is really, really nice. I hear you with the "Auntie" remarks... must be the same over here like being called "Grandma" = not young & chic. Like when I'm sitting around knitting = Grandma. Or when I wear my eyeglasses around a string on my neck = Grandma. Or that I had a hip replacement = Grandma. What will they call me when I'm really old and become a grandmother ?!!! I'm only 42!!!tamdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727285004604363601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-13648419945853554782012-03-12T21:50:34.441+08:002012-03-12T21:50:34.441+08:00I must be auntie....because I love them all! There...I must be auntie....because I love them all! There are definitely some flower prints that are old ladyish, but not all of them - many of them are really sweet! And the simplicity of these pouches makes them even prettier!<br />Well done, Jane!
